having spent the last few days muching through a box of matchmakers i am thinking that a few of these in a bag would also make a good gift. Snowman Hands, or Christmas Logs? What about putting a few in with some white marshmallows and chocolate drops and call it a make your own snowman kit? Actually the more i think about it i love this idea.
would have a go myself today but i have eaten them all

Fab idea little Lil

These days pretty much any die will work in any machine, the opening of the bigshot is 1/2" wider but either should take all dies, i have written up some photo tutorials on which dies need which plates so if you want any help pm me (or ask my PA :T)

i can reccomend country view - susan is lovely and dispatch is fast!

If you want to use the XL dies (mainly bags and boxes) you will need extended plates for the relevent machine

Scarf could be liquorice laces or marshmallows string. I feel a trip to the sweet shop coming on. Ohhhh what about a hat made out of half a flying saucer sweet that would be fab! I really need to have a go at this

Could you cut something like that on the cuttlebug too? I'm seriously warming to the cuttlebug and am going to see if I can sneak one in without my husband noticing... much as I love the sizzix too the cuttle is just a better size for me! But I want to be able to make boxes! WAAAAAAH
